Oily skin creates a lot of problems. Greasy shine makes you constantly touch up your makeup. Powder and foundation cannot mask it for a long time, and after a short period of time it appears again. The disadvantage is inherent not only to the fat and combined type. Normal skin also produces more sebum and sweat for a variety of reasons. It can be high air temperature, stressful situations, hormonal disruption.

To neutralize the shine, special means are used. Mattifying creams absorb excess fat and control the sebaceous glands. In addition, they have an anti-inflammatory effect that helps get rid of acne in a short time. Components of various origins are used as active substances. The composition includes mineral salts, which dry slightly, while not clogging pores, but, on the contrary, enhance cellular respiration. Natural ingredients are often used as absorbents.

Correctly formulated creams provide a mattifying effect from several hours to a day. They can be used as an independent product or as a base for decorative cosmetics. Creams can contain moisturizing, anti-aging, soothing ingredients, so every girl can choose a product based on the needs of her skin. Some are formulated with UV filters that provide UV protection and enhance the overall effect.

Manufacturers offer a wide variety of matting agents. We have selected the most worthy of them, which are recommended by beauty experts and ordinary customers. The review includes both budget creams and more expensive options.
